Walk the most iconic squares in the city, visit Rosary Church, one of the few Brutalist churches on the continent and visited by thousands of tourists. Visit the National Library — the most modern in Central America, and Romero’s crypt — he was assassinated while celebrating Mass and his tomb is visited by thousands of people.

Best Hike experience

What a great experience. The hike wasn't super easy but it also wasn't as difficult as I anticipated. Our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and super friendly. The views at the top of the volcano was breathtaking and we also got some icecream once we reached the top. Lunch after was the best food I had on the trip. I would recommend this excusion with this tour guide to everyone.

Copan Ruins: Explore the Ancient Mayan Kingdom from San Salvador

laurenmilligan, Jul 2026

Absolutely worth the trip!!! Diego is a real professional

It is a long bus ride but the buses are comfortable and air conditioned and there are several options to stop and use the restroom or grab coffee if wanted. Diego was our driver and made the immigration stops a breeze. He was so helpful and discussed many interesting things with us. The ruins are breathtaking in scope and importance. The local guides are experts and make the tour even more magical. Don’t skip this because it’s far away. We also enjoyed exploring the town of copan and had a little taste of Honduran life, and of course Honduran food is delicious. This tour exceeded our expectations

Helen_M, Jun 2026

Good tour with Josep!

This was a good tour! Josep was very friendly and knowledge. It was nice visiting the cities and coffee farm. The coffee farm is more of a restaurant/cafe where we tasted coffee, and we then did a little nature walk where we passed coffee plants. The colonial cities were cool to see and it was nice to be given some free time to explore and shop.

Superior serviceO

Fernando was exceptionally professional. I appreciate how he always kept in contact with me via WhatsApp. During my ride to the hotel and also back to the airport he always arrived 30 minutes prior to the expected time. Fernando speaks perfect English, it's very courteous, and knowledgeable about the history of El Salvador. I had a great experience throughout my entire transport. Thank you, Fernando!

Café Albania + Ataco Town + Santa Teresa Hot Springs

Dyrisha_J, May 2026

Perfecto

Honestly I loved this activity being in El Salvador was extremely hard for me and my sister as it is a Spanish speaking country and we knew that before going but it was my birthday I’m Caribbean and want to see the world outside of just Caribbean countries. Francisco made it so we learnt about the history and seen some places that were far from the hotel at which we stayed at he took pictures and videos that were sent to us right away. All in all I would definitely recommend you to do this activity with Mr Francisco he speaks good enough English for us to have a conversation and he also speaks Spanish as well. He’s such a gentleman and has perfect manners I wish him all the best in life and hopefully he gained some clientele when I post my video on TikTok. Thank you Francisco for making my birthday so fun.

Day Tour : Antigua Guatemala UNESCO Site - From San Salvador City

Monica_M, May 2026

Long but worth it to see Antigua!

Super long day (my pick-up time was 4:20am & I was dropped off after 8pm), as others have said, but worth it! Antigua was amazing. Our time there was well-split between a 2 hour tour, followed by 2 hours of time on our own for lunch & whatever else. I’d have liked to have one more hour in Antigua, balancing the trip between 5 hours on the road, 5 hours in Antigua, and 5 hours on the return journey. But instead we got 4 hours in Antigua. The guides were respectful & professional & I’d have felt safe with them as a woman travelling alone. The van was spacious & myself and the two other tourists who signed up for this each had a row of seats to stretch out & even nap on, which made the drive easier. I also appreciated that the guides/drivers did not play loud music on the way. This made it easier to listen to podcasts and books about Guatemala on my airpods which made the journey better.

Cafe Albania bike Zipline, Rainbow Slide, Wings Swing, Santa teresa Hotsprings

The rainbow slide/bike zipline/wings swing were super fun. The Santa Teresa Hotsprings were awesome and relaxing. Our lunch was delicious at La Parilla De Lenha with typical food from El Salvador. highly recommend it.

Tamanique Waterfalls Complex Trek + El Tunco Beach

Curtis_T, Jan 2026

Well worth the hike!!!

The hike down to the waterfalls is intense. So wear proper shoes. But once you get to the falls, its well worth the hike. It was about a 45min hike down. Going back up was super intense. Those mountains are super steep. But our tour guide Diego was extremely patient and friendly with us. El Tunco beach was beautiful and there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop.

Excellent tour due to our awesome tour guide Josue!

Josue was incredible. He was very enthusiastic about informing us about the history of El Salvador, in addition to how the current healthcare and education systems work. But most importantly, he always made sure we had a good time. He snuck in a trip to Cafe Albania in Apaneca for us though it technically wasn't on the agenda. We got to ride the bicycles in the air and go down the rainbow slides. So fun! Also, in the markets of Nahuizalco, he bought pupusas made of yuca as well as other delicious foods and fruits for us to try. And he drove us to our hotel despite it being much out of the way of the city. Always patient and making sure we had a good time, Josue was friendly, respectful, and so knowledgeable. He was absolutely fantastic and made this tour well worth it!
